Description
Old Barn Cottage represents a characterful village house originally dating from 1650 and was sympathetically converted in the 1950’s. The current owners have been in residence for over forty years and the property offers excellent lateral living space with a flexible arrangement of accommodation that extends to approximately 2,500 sq ft.
There is a superb open plan kitchen with doors opening on to the patio and gardens beyond. The bespoke kitchen features a central island, contemporary fitted cabinetry and integrated appliances. The sitting room boasts superb proportions, an attractive brick surround fireplace and a gas fireplace. For more formal entertaining is the dining room with beautiful parquet flooring.
Also on the ground floor are two/three bedrooms with convenient access to both the family bathroom and the shower room. This configuration lends itself to multigenerational living or visiting guests. Additionally there is a music room which is versatile in its use, a boot room and a utility room.
Further bedroom accommodation can be found on the first floor. There is a significant, dual aspect principal bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a large en suite shower room. There are two further bedrooms on this floor serviced by another family bathroom.
Outside, the gardens are beautifully presented with two charming seating areas, a pergola, a well maintained lawn and well stocked flowering beds providing an array of stunning colours throughout the seasons. At the end of the garden is a delightful ornamental pond. There is a former stable block with four boxes and an adjoining workshop.
The Old Granary is a delightful part refurbished outbuilding retaining many of its original features which would make an ideal home office, games room or further workshop area.
The property is accessed via electric gates and a long, sweeping private driveway. Old Barn Cottage benefits from an integral double garage, separate single garage and courtyard parking with space for multiple vehicles.
Location
Old Barn Cottage is conveniently situated in Cranleigh, known as England’s largest village and offers extensive facilities often found in a small market town. Within Cranleigh itself are many local independent shops and supermarkets, including an M&S food hall. Cranleigh Arts Centre hosts regular films, theatre, bands, comedy and children’s shows.
A complete range of shopping, leisure and cultural amenities is to be found at Guildford approximately 10 miles away, where there is also a mainline station offering a fast and frequent service to London Waterloo with journey times from 32 minutes.
The nearby Surrey Hills is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and includes some of the most beautiful countryside in the southeast.
Cranleigh has a very good selection of schools within easy reach including Cranleigh School, Royal Grammar, Guildford High School, St Catherine’s, Longacre and Charterhouse.
Recreational opportunities include golf at several local clubs; Cranleigh’s own Sport and Leisure centre, polo at Ewhurst, racing at Epsom and Sandown Park, and country sports at a number of local venues. In addition, the surrounding countryside offers excellent walking, cycling and riding directly from the property. Of note, the Downs Link which follows the old railway line can be readily accessed by the public footpath from the drive.
